FLYETISM is more than a reimagining of 2025’s Quietism. It illustrates the creative moments that lead to Quietism while showcasing the community that helped build it. Only seven out of twelve tracks are remixes while the rest represent the steps along the way.

“When I started gearing up for what would become Quietism, I was playing with new styles and tone. Written while building my studio in 2023 and inspired by the talk-singing ‘crank-rock’ of the UK, I thought Comeback would be the lynchpin of the record. Ultimately it felt a little too far out to hold things together and I quickly moved on but I felt it a necessary creative moment. This play also resulted in a 2023 demo: Adam Goldberg’s Vine. The Zilla Rocca produced Get There Fast was written in early 2024 and although it knocks, I felt the energy was a little bit more indignant than I’d like to move with. Included in the collection is a demo from the 2020 quarantine era; Poolside was written during the Cool Code and Don album and never felt like it belonged anywhere as a song, but provided the narrative songwriting I would later revisit. In the spirit of remixing, The Ballad of Mint and Chip (from Damn The Man Save The Empire) also gets the sauce.

These are a few places I’ve been, where I have been going, and hopefully where I am headed.
Stay FLY.” - ialive

All tracks written, recorded and mastered by ialive @ The Infinite Order of Working Ideas in Philadelphia, PA. Thank you to Zilla, Height, OldGold, Darko, Small Pro, Esh, Castro, Garfunkle, Self, andrew and everyone involved for their contributions. Peace to all.

And it keeps on going. SUNDAY show alert. With @jawnvogel @buffstance & tidal prism (@tangent_universes )

All ages. NOTAFLOF ❤️

Next Saturday it’s going down.
@qnorapname @thetasteofvomit and myself will be hosting our mans from PGH @bbgunspgh at @upstairsabyss for a night of genre pushing shite. Please do attend.

Last winter, the boys from Ronald Raygun (@toadstoolraps + @danfrombothbands) had @_nahreally_ , @ialive + Wave Generators over to eat a hearty stew before our Providence show. We cooked up this heater as the stew was bubbling up in the dutch oven.
Thanks to @el.gran.e.records for including this jam on their brand new Liberation mega-compilation.

The following are the organizations El Gran E will donate all proceeds to:

Gaza Birds Singing - Musical support group born during displacement in Gaza
www.instagram.com/gazabirdssinging?igsh=NnlnZmV1dW56aTNq

HEAL Palestine - “non-political nonprofit organization founded in January 2024, in response to the unimaginable devastation in Gaza, where thousands of lives were lost in a short period, impacting generations for decades to come.”
www.healpalestine.org

NOOR Orphan Care - headed by Plestia Alaqad (award winning Gazan author/journalist)
www.gofundme.com/f/help-plestia-rebuild-lives-today

3 test presses of Quietism left! All hand drawn by yours truly. (Using my daughter’s materials, while she sat next to me drawing 500 letter A’s.) go to @threedollarpistol to grab one. My grandfather fought nazi’s and apparently I do too. I love the snow but we can all agree that ICE is for losers with small dicks.

Staying curious.

We are in the process of finding a new date for this show because of the coming snow craziness! We’ll update once we have one figured out.
